Carnivorous plants used for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity

In this study, we exploit the anti-oxidative potential of four carnivorous plants to produce uniform and biologically active silver nanoparticles. The use of polyvinylpyrrolidone promoted synthesis of quasi-spherical nanoparticles characterized by stability and high uniformity. Their activity was te...
